I looked at that too. However, I decided that:

 + it wasn't going to scale very well. The script above takes quite
   a long time to run over even just 5000 zones, and this guy is
   loading another 200 zones per day at the moment.

 + it introduces new and exciting complications for locking, trying
   to ensure that updates through the samba share aren't overlapping
   with disk-thrashing sed action :)

And I could write a nice short piece of C which would be quicker
than sed or perl, but I still think the functionality is valuable
for bind.
